    I don't know if my guide will help others - I haven't posted it yet - but I've categorised the spells in terms of use. They are:

    Offensive: Direct Damage Spells
    Defensive: Magical shields and protections
    Summoning: Spells to get creatures
    Trap/Area: Spells that take effect when creature walks into them
    Hindering: Spells that effect creature performance
    Aid: Spells that enhance character performance
    Penetrating: Spells that cut through enemy defenses and spells
    Restorating: Spells that heal and remove conditions
    Defeating: Spells that defeat an opponent if successful such as death
    Misleading: Illusionary spells to confuse
    Informational: Diving spells revealing stuff
    Prepatory: Spells that ready other spells and abilities such as contigencies and sequencers
    Undead: Spells that effect or protect against undead

    I've categorised them further into arcane (mage spells) and divine (priest spells).

    Does anybody think this would help?

    [​IMG] I think it would become helpful if you also listed which spells fall under each category.

    Oh, I've already done that but I can't post it here because it's nine pages long. That's why I'm thinking of posting it as a document if it helps anybody.
